Childbirth Trauma

Episiotomies and 3rd degree tears which caused sphincter tear and was not repaired at the time is causing incontinence issues. The only solution is Sacral Nerve Stimulation. However, having read about it, it is not always successful. Would it cause further damage to the nerves if it was inserted and then had to be removed? Also, is there an alternative? Thank you
